Benches from scrap

Run by the very nice Derek and Mary, we were made to feel extremely welcome. It wasn’t the best gig of our lives – we have played and sounded much better in the past, but the environment was very pleasant indeed.

What particularly caught my eye in the upstairs room of The Mill Arts Centre that serves as the venue for the club were the following items of hand-made furniture. Made entirely from welded bits of scrap with dark wooden tops, it’s very much the sort of thing that I like and similar in style to a lot of the stuff I produce (albeit mine being on a much smaller scale so far!):

Bench 1

Bench 2

Bench 3

Bench 4

I’ve no idea who made these great pieces of furniture, but would love to find out if anyone out there knows. . . drop me a line/comment.
